Soy is a complete protein. It contains essential amino acids, our bodies building blocks, making it a high-quality meat alternative for vegans and carnivores alike.
Soy milk and soy cheese are calcium-rich alternatives to dairy products for those with lactose allergies and intolerances.

Soy has certainly benefited over the last few decades from good marketing, but not everyone agrees that it's the perfect food.
In fact it can be quite the opposite.

Personally, I am well aware of the caveats regarding soy beans. It appears one pays their money and takes their chances. I choose to utilize soy and consider them to be beneficial in my case. Natto and pureed.

All the food we ingest is a balancing act. If the situation were simple we could produce an ideal diet and take it in prepared form. With the present knowledge available all we can do is ingest a wide variety and hope it is sufficient.

A bowl of soy beans are eaten for breakfast, which replaces eggs for me. About a 20 day supply is prepared at one time, and kept in the refrigerator. I ingest slightly less than 100 pounds per year and buy in 55 pound bags of usually non modified beans.

Method: Wash several times, boil for about 15 minutes, wash again. Place in beans in colander which is insert for pressure cooker. Oil gasket area of pressure cooker to prevent gasket sticking. Boil without rocker for about ten minutes to remove air. Add rocker and cook for about one hours at 15 PSI.Remove when cooked and place in a pot, use any water left in cooker, and add more water for blending.Add some molasses to suit taste, and boil for about ten minutes to mix. Blend and pour into jars and store in the refrigerator. A litre of dried soy beans cooked is sufficient for one person for about 8 days, eating a bowl full daily.
